About Keli

Keli Karbowski is a licensed clinical social worker in Florida with 22 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and self-esteem concerns. She also addresses addictions, mood challenges, and relationship and family stress.

Her background includes long-term work with people managing social anxiety, isolation, and post-traumatic stress. She helps clients who struggle with communication problems, guilt, shame, and compulsive patterns. She has experience supporting people affected by adoption and foster care, abandonment, and Veteran and Armed Forces issues.

In sessions she uses clear, direct conversation and practical strategies. She draws on Client-Centered techniques to follow the client’s concerns and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Mindfulness and Motivational Interviewing tools are used to build present-moment awareness and to support motivation for change.

She also uses Solution-Focused methods to set concrete, short-term goals and track small steps forward. Typical work may include building coping skills for stress, planning ways to manage cravings or impulsivity, or practicing communication skills for strained relationships.

People who choose her often want straightforward, experience-based support for everyday life pressures - work, parenting, finances, and health-related stress. Before a first session, she asks people to describe their immediate concerns so she can suggest practical starting points and goals.

BHow sessions work

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what the client says matters most. Online sessions using this approach tend to prioritize the person's immediate concerns and let the conversation shape the work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, behaviors, and feelings and uses straightforward exercises to test new ways of responding; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and compulsive problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. That collaborative discussion guides whether more CBT tasks, mindfulness practice, motivational interviewing to build change, or short solution-focused steps are emphasized.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm which formats are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time so therapy fits around work, parenting, and other obligations.
